Delta Fest is another great reason to get out in September! I took my daughter last year and we had a blast. I’ve looked at the line-up for this year, and all I really care about is seeing Cartel. Hey, we all have guilty pleasures. =)
I’ll be there Friday the 10th. If you see us, say hi!
Edit: I just noticed on the website that every day is wristband day! $20 for a wristband...

Take a water bottle. It gets hot with that many people cramped into a 5 block radius =)

I need a Memphian
angstinmypants:
to tell me the best place to go to get my hair cut. Preferably in Midtown, preferably not expensive. Take it, Tumblr.
(I also need a Young & the Restless fan who takes screencaps to get me a picture of what’s been going on with Michelle Stafford’s hair recently, because that is EXACTLY the cut I want. Don’t judge me. For the soaps. The hair envy is entirely justified.)
So....

This made me think of the film that he is in: Uncle Sam: Wants You Dead. Perfect for your “bad movie nights”. Also, I recommend “Ankle Biters” about midget vampires and “Ax ‘em”

I stood and watched as his fingers flew across the strings of that old guitar His voice came on strong, singing of a broken heart and wounds that won’t heal.
